Hands Off!

While the NHL's Presidents' Trophy, awarded to the team with the best regular season record, is considered an outstanding achievement, (by the way, the Wing's have received it 5 times since the first one was awarded in 1986 - no other team has more than 2), it isn't the one trophy all hockey players covet - THE Stanley Cup.

Note that when Detroit's alternate captains, Nicklas Lidstrom & Brendan Shanahan, accepted the award last Monday, 04/17/06, before their win over Dallas, (by the way again, wasn't that a great come-from-behind, 3rd period win!!!), it was "Hands Off!, Don't Touch!", least bad fortune come upon them in their quest for another championship. (Their current total is at 10 , and counting ..... )
